X-Men ‘97 Season 2 trailer: The dialogue
The inspiring dialogue shown in the trailer:
“Whatever forces await, we shall face them together.”
The dialogue represents a classic superhero rallying cry for unity. It means that no matter how scary, strong, or wild their future enemies are, the team cannot win by fighting alone. They can only survive by standing together as one.
For decades, Xavier and Magneto stood as bitter rivals. Xavier believed mutants and humans could live peacefully together, while Magneto thought mutants must rule to survive. Magneto’s choice to face the future together shows that he has clearly set aside his proud ‘mutant supremacy’ concept and has joined Xavier’s team to fight for a shared future.
The trailer presents Apocalypse right after unity’s dialogue is mentioned. Previously on Season 1, Apocalypse believed in survival of the fittest and thought that the weak should die and only the strong should live.
The team met the two versions of Apocalypse
In X-Men ’97, Apocalypse is an imposing figure who wears classic blue and gray armor. The character is one of the oldest and most powerful mutants in existence. The main antagonist of Season 2 was born a thousand years ago in ancient Egypt.
The team met two versions of Apocalypse after the Epsilon Wave scattered in the X-Men ’97 Season 1 finale. Nightcrawler, Rogue, Beast, Magneto, and Xavier traveled to his birthplace in 3000 B.C. There, they met En Sabah Nur before he gained all his powers. Meanwhile, Cyclops and Jean Grey moved into a dark future and confronted Apocalypse’s second version.
